Soon, Gu Yi in the military camp also learned of such news.

"Zhang Fei's army was ambushed?" Gu Yi asked again, wanting to confirm.

The scout nodded, confirming that what he said was correct.

Gu Yi paced back and forth with a heavy heart, his thoughts constantly echoing the news just brought by the scout.

Zhang Fei's army had actually been ambushed, which made him start to suspect whether someone was targeting his own army. He stopped pacing, his brows tightly locked, thinking about the possible motives behind it...

Gu Yi recalled a series of recent events, trying to find clues. He remembered that his army had performed excellently in recent battles, causing huge casualties to the enemy. Such victories aroused the jealousy and resentment of his enemies, making him feel that this ambush was very likely a retaliation.

He began to recall his past with Zhang Fei; the two armies had once cooperated, but also had some friction and competition. Perhaps this ambush was also related to their relationship. Gu Yi began to think, if this was the case, what actions did he need to take to protect his army and ensure their safety.

He decided to summon his military advisors to discuss possible response strategies. They needed to strengthen vigilance, strengthen intelligence collection and exchange, in order to better guard against future attacks. Gu Yi calmly considered every possibility; he knew he had to keep a clear head and make wise decisions.

Gu Yi continued to pace back and forth, his thoughts becoming clearer and clearer.

He realized that no matter who launched the ambush on his army, he must remain calm and determined. They would not be knocked down, but would stand up again from this blow, even stronger and more united.

His pacing gradually became regular, and his thinking became deeper. Gu Yi knew that this event might be just one of a series of challenges, and he had to be prepared to respond at any time.

"Go notify Zhang Fei to bring the army back, absolutely do not clash head-on with the enemy, that will only increase more losses." Gu Yi ordered.

"Yes, General!" The scout agreed.

"By the way, have you found out the identity of that group of people?" Gu Yi continued to ask, "Are there any clues?"

The scout shook his head: "Not yet."

"Then you send people to keep a close watch, tell me immediately if there are any clues, in addition, I will order Zhang Fei to return as soon as possible and strengthen vigilance."

"Yes, General!" The scout agreed again.

Gu Yi walked out of the tent, recalling the things that had happened recently, a smile appearing on his face; it seemed it was time to send a small gift to that group of people. He walked back to his tent, picked up a pen, and began to write.

The next day, Zhang Fei led his army back to the military camp.

"General, are you alright?" The day after returning to the military camp, Zhang Fei heard the news that the army had been ambushed, and he asked worriedly, "You cannot have anything happen to you, otherwise how can I answer to the Old Master."

"I'm fine." Gu Yi smiled, "Rest assured."

After hearing Gu Yi's explanation, Zhang Fei breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes were still filled with worry.

"Don't worry, I will handle it well." Seeing this, Gu Yi comforted him.

"Yes, General." Zhang Fei nodded; he knew he couldn't help.

"Alright, go rest first." Gu Yi waved his hand, "Tonight you entertain my friend well."

"Yes, General!" Zhang Fei nodded.

After dinner, Gu Yi brought Zhang Fei's deputy to Zhang Fei's barracks.

"General Zhang, today I have brought a few distinguished guests, I hope you can entertain them well and let them have a good time." Gu Yi said, recommending his own deputy.

"Oh, so it's General Gu." Seeing the deputy beside him, Zhang Fei immediately understood, "General Gu's friend is my friend, please rest assured."

"Then we will leave first, General Zhang, entertain the distinguished guests well!" Gu Yi said to Zhang Fei with a smile.

"Good, General Gu, walk slowly!"

Gu Yi turned and left the tent, a smile hanging at the corners of his mouth.

"This time, I want to see who you are, actually daring to ambush my army!" Gu Yi muttered to himself.

Then Gu Yi found his military strategist, Pang Tong.

"Pang Tong, let's go meet Zhang Fei's friend."

"Good, General." Pang Tong nodded and agreed.

Gu Yi brought Pang Tong to the tent where Zhang Fei lived and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." Zhang Fei's voice sounded from inside, and Gu Yi walked in.

"General Zhang, I am Gu Yi, a friend of General Gu." Pang Tong spoke first.

Hearing that it was Gu Yi's friend, Zhang Fei immediately revealed a smile, his smile very sincere.

"Please sit." Zhang Fei greeted Pang Tong enthusiastically.

"Thank you." Pang Tong was not polite either and sat down.

"General Pang, I don't know what your opinion is?" Gu Yi asked, getting straight to the point.

"Those people who attacked General Zhang this time have clearly grasped the situation of our army. The goal of these people is very clear, it seems they are aiming at our army. I think we shouldn't be led by the nose by them, we should make sufficient preparations and wait for the enemy's attack." Pang Tong analyzed.

After hearing this, Gu Yi felt that what he said was very right.

"Mm, you are right." Gu Yi nodded, "Then what should we do?"

"General, I think we should contact the leaders of other tribes and let them participate in this matter as well, their strength will be even greater." Pang Tong suggested, "And they can also cooperate with General Zhang to weaken the enemy and reduce our pressure."

"Mm, General Pang is very right, we should contact other tribes and resist these people together." Gu Yi agreed with Pang Tong's words, "We can divide them into several groups, this way our chances of winning will be much greater."

"General, we should do this!" A smile rose at the corners of Pang Tong's mouth.

Gu Yi and Zhang Fei chatted; both were soldiers, chatting about major national military affairs, very congenial.

"General, I think we should dispatch soldiers to various tribes for propaganda as soon as possible, tell them about Zhang Fei's encounter, and let them increase their vigilance. Only in this way can we drive the enemy away as soon as possible, so as not to let them take advantage of the situation!" Pang Tong put forward his suggestion.

"Mm, you are very right." Gu Yi agreed with Pang Tong's words.

After hearing the conversation between Gu Yi and Pang Tong, Zhang Fei's heart was very grateful, and at the same time, he looked at Pang Tong with new eyes.

Zhang Fei felt that he had not chosen the wrong person; this suggestion of Pang Tong was simply timely rain, and this was also why Gu Yi could find a suitable candidate so quickly...
